Mr. Edwards recognized Mr. Basil Dosunmu, Senior Vice President Administration and Finance/CFO, for his recent completion of the Leadership Greenville Class of 45 program approximately two weeks ago. The Commission extended their appreciation for Mr. Dosunmu’s participation in that program.

Mr. Edwards noted the positive feedback from Greenville Chamber Staff and Mr. Dosunmu’ s involvement in both Leadership Greenville and the Chamber’s Finance Committee.

B. Air Service Development – Passenger Leakage Statistics Update

As a follow-up to the request of the Commission, Mr. Scott Carr, Vice President,

Commercial Business and Communications, presented a passenger leakage statistics

update. The GSP primary catchment area has a population of 2.3 million. GSP is able to

pull a significant amount of traffic throughout the GSP primary catchment area.

On the domestic side, in markets without GSP non-stop service, passengers utilize GSP

40% of the time. In markets with GSP non-stop service, passengers utilize GSP 50% of

the time. GSP’s domestic leakage is 46% to Charlotte followed by 31% to Atlanta. GSP’s

international leakage is 44% to Charlotte followed by 43% to Atlanta.

Mr. Carr reviewed the top 15 GSP domestic markets and compared the passengers daily

each way (PDEW) from 2017 to 2018. Mr. Carr also reviewed the domestic markets by

carrier. Mr. Carr then reviewed the top 15 unserved domestic markets including Boston,

LA Basin, and the Bay Area.

The Commission inquired about the timing of the study to which Mr. Carr responded

that the study captured second half of Calendar Year 2018. Mr. Edwards also noted the

data lag in the information that comes from DOT.

Mr. Carr provided an overview of the top 15 GSP international markets noting a

decrease in leakage in nine of those markets. Mr. Carr reviewed the international

markets by carrier.

The Commission inquired about data regarding international markets as well as sources

of data to which Mr. Carr responded.

Mr. Edwards commented on the leakage map. In the future, Staff would like to provide

another update with more of a condensed primary catchment area versus an expanded

catchment area. The leakage study conducted in 2009 and 2012 provided more of a

condensed catchment area than what was reviewed today. The Commission asked about

Asheville capture of the market to which Mr. Edwards responded.

OLD BUSINESS: None

NEW BUSINESS:

A. Approval of Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Airport District Budget

Mr. Basil Dosunmu, Senior Vice President Administration and Finance/CFO, presented to

the Commission the FY 2019-2020 Airport District Budget.

Mr. Dosunmu presented financial history and general statistics. Between 1963 and 2018,

GSP has experienced an average annual growth rate of 4.9%. Enplanements in FY 2018

were 1.1 million. In FY 2019, enplanements are trending at 1,228,500. In FY 2020, the

forecast for enplanements is 1,253,000.

Mr. Dosunmu discussed the proposed FY 2019/2020 O&M Budget. The operating

revenue budget is expected to increase to $48,892,500, a $8.1M or a 19.9% increase over FYE 6-30-2019. Factors contributing to the increase include space and ground

rentals, auto parking, concessions, other income, and fuel sales.

The operating expenses budget is expected to increase to $30,703,600, a $3.3M or a

12.1% increase over FYE 6-30-2019. Factors contributing to the increase include

personnel and benefit costs to include a performance pay program, professional services,

administrative expenses, and contractual services.

The projected net operating income for FY 2019/2020 is $18.2M compared to FY

2018/2019 budget of $13.4M.

Mr. Dosunmu provided the rates and charges overview. For FY 2019/2020, the cost per

enplaned passenger (CPE) is projected at $6.54. The terminal building rental rate per

square foot for FY 2020 is $40.86 and the landing fee per 1,000 pounds is $1.49. The

Commission inquired about CPE costs and expenses related to Southwest and United

Airlines to which Mr. Dosunmu and Mr. Edwards responded. The driving force for the

increase in revenue is the increase in the numbers of turns rather than the cost per turn.

Mr. Dosunmu highlighted the O&M budget assumptions in the proposed FY 2019/2020

budget. Assumptions include passenger enplanements of 1,253,000, an increase in

terminal maintenance costs, an increase in FBO operations, an expansion of Senator and

associated long haul cargo operations, recruitment of personnel, an increase in space to

support air cargo operations, implementation of a performance pay program, and an

increase in the Economy Parking rate from $6/day to $7/day. Mr. Dosunmu noted that

there has been no change in investment policy but continues see an uptake in yield with

an average this year of 1.9%. The last assumption is the implementation of $4.50

passenger facility charge program.

Mr. Dosunmu reviewed sources of revenue as well as operating expenses by category and

then presented the proposed FY 2019/2020 Capital Budget. Capital projects approved in

prior fiscal years and carried forward into FYE 6-30-2020 total $44,671,834. The new

proposed capital budget, including capital improvements, equipment and small capital

outlays, renewal and replacement and professional service projects, is $27,034,150. The

Commission inquired about the list of capital budget items to which Mr. Edwards

responded.

Mr. Dosunmu stated that the Other O&M Reserve Funds provisional budget includes

$750,000 for emergency repair/replacement/operations funds and $1,000,000 for

business development/agreement obligations and incentives.

Mr. Dosunmu reviewed the Land Development and Cerulean Profit and Loss (P&L)

statements.

Mr. Dosunmu concluded the budget presentation with discussion related to the FY

2019/2020 budget/investment plan, the historical and projected investment plan, the Line

of Credit, and the 5-year fund balance financial forecast.

The Commission inquired about income and expenses associated with the third parking

garage to which both Mr. Dosunmu and Mr. Edwards responded. The Commission further

inquired about the landscape plan, Valet Parking, performance bonus program metrics,

and the passenger facility charge program to which Mr. Edwards, Mr. Howell, and Mr.

Dosunmu responded.

There was a motion to resolve to adopt the Fiscal Year 2019/2020 Budget. The motion

was seconded and unanimously approved.

B. Approval to Implement a Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program

Mr. Basil Dosunmu, Senior Vice President Administration and Finance/CFO, presented to

the Commission the approval to implement a Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) program.

At the Commission meeting held on November 19, 2018, the Commission adopted the

final Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) Master Plan presented by

McFarland Johnson. The Airport Master Plan includes projects and associated costs for

Phase I (0-5 years - $153.6 million). The Airport Master Plan assumed PFC funding for

airport infrastructure improvement projects. In five years, $20.4 million in non-operating

revenues will be generated from the PFC program if it is implemented at a $4.50 level.

Airports use these fees to fund FAA-approved projects that enhance safety, security, and

capacity at the airport.

Staff has identified projects totaling $52,254,994 over the next five years of which

$20,378,025 would be PFC eligible.

Mr. Dosunmu indicated that the Airport District would be responsible to notify air carriers

that operate at GSP the Intent to Impose and Use PFC, issue a public notice of GSP Intent

to Impose and Use PFC, and consult with the air carriers the Intent to Impose and Use

PFC revenue and review the listing of projects.

There was a motion to (1) approve the implementation of a Passenger Facility Charge

(PFC) Program at a $4.50 level; and (2) authorize the President/CEO to execute all

necessary documents. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved.

In response to the Commission’s request to keep them informed of the process, Mr.

Edwards anticipates implementation of the program by January 2020.

C. Approval of a Budget Amendment for the Cargo Apron Project

Mr. Kevin Howell, Senior Vice President/COO, presented the budget amendment for the

cargo apron project.

The Cargo Apron Project designed by WK Dickson and currently under construction with

McCarthy Improvement (MCI) includes the construction of a new cargo apron and

associated connector taxiway to serve the new Air Cargo facility currently under

construction by Haskell.

The original construction phase budget for the project of $16,636,704.48 was approved

on March 19, 2018. A budget amendment was later approved on September 10, 2018

increasing the construction phase budget by $1,610,145.32.

The current approved project budget is $18,246,849.80 and is partially funded with a

combination of AIP entitlement and discretionary funds under two AIP grant agreements

totaling $17,531,885. The current District share is $714,964.80. The Commission

inquired about the additional project costs to which Mr. Howell responded.

Based on the mediation settlement, extended CA/RPR services and projections of

various quantity overruns and remaining additional project costs including rock

excavation, etc., the project team estimates $1,194,620 of costs over the currently

approved construction phase budget. A 5% contingency brings the necessary budget

amendment to an increase of $1,250,000.00.

The cost overruns and extended CA/RPR services are considered AIP eligible and the

District will be applying for a grant amendment to cover 90% of these costs upon close

out of the cargo apron project. If the additional costs are covered at 90% with AIP

funds, the District’s share would be approximately $125,000.

There was a motion to (1) approve a project budget increase of $1,250,000 for the

Cargo Apron Project; and (2) authorize the President/CEO to execute all necessary

documents. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved.

PRESIDENT/CEO REPORT:

Aviation Industry Update: The Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) continues to remain a topic of discussion. Airlines continue to be profitable. Discussions related to the grounding of the 737 Max’s and their impacts are ongoing. GSP has not experienced any direct impacts.

State Legislative Issues Update: The Guide Dog/Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Bill passed through the Legislature this year and was signed by the Governor. This provides the District the ability to set regulations as it relates to guide dogs as well as Emotional Support Animals in the airport terminal.

Section 1 - Preamble and Policy These Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Service Providers (“Minimum Standards”) have been formulated and adopted by the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport CommissionDistrict (the “CommissionDistrict”) for the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, hereinafter referred to as “Airport”. This supersedes all previous documents of its kind, and was officially adopted on November 6, 2006June 24, 2019. These Minimum Standards are intended to be the minimum threshold entry requirements for those wishing to provide commercial aeronautical services to the public and to insureensure that those who have undertaken to provide commodities and services as approved are not exposed to unfair or irresponsible competition. These Minimum Standards were developed taking into consideration the aviation role of the Airport, facilities that currently exist at the Airport, services being offered at the Airport, and the future development planned for the Airport, and to promote fair competition. The uniform application of these Minimum Standards, containing the minimum levels of service that must be offered by the prospective service provider, protects the established aeronautical activity and Airport patrons and enhances the public interest by both encouraging growth of business at the Airport and discouraging substandard operations. These standards were developed in accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) Advisory Circular 150-/5190-5 change 17, dated June 2002. August 28, 2006. The Airport will annually review and regularly update this document as necessary as required by activities on the Airport or as regulations are changed. Any existing commercial aeronautical service provider currently under a fully executed and approved lease will not be required to meet the standards until at such time that the service provider’s lease with the Airport is modified, renewed, or a change in the service provider’s ownership of 51 percent or more occurs. These Minimum Standards shall apply to all Commercial Aeronautical Service Providers, with the exceptions noted below. These Minimum Standards do not apply to:

• The District itself;

• Certificated air carriers providing scheduled passenger and/or cargo service operating under a separate lease and/or agreement with the Airport;

• Non-aeronautical commercial service providers such as restaurants, rental cars, concessions, taxis, Airport shuttles, etc., located on or otherwise serving the Airport;

GSP Airport District Page 4 Minimum Standards

Section 1 – Preamble and Policy

These Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Service Providers (“Minimum Standards”) have been formulated and adopted by the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District (the “District”) for the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, hereinafter referred to as “Airport”. This supersedes all previous documents of its kind and was officially adopted on June 24, 2019. These Minimum Standards are intended to be the minimum threshold entry requirements for those wishing to provide commercial aeronautical services to the public and to ensure that those who have undertaken to provide commodities and services as approved are not exposed to unfair or irresponsible competition. These Minimum Standards were developed taking into consideration the aviation role of the Airport, facilities that currently exist at the Airport, services being offered at the Airport, and the future development planned for the Airport, and to promote fair competition. The uniform application of these Minimum Standards, containing the minimum levels of service that must be offered by the prospective service provider, protects the established aeronautical activity and Airport patrons and enhances the public interest by both encouraging growth of business at the Airport and discouraging substandard operations. These standards were developed in accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) Advisory Circular 150/5190-7, dated August 28, 2006. The Airport will annually review and regularly update this document as necessary as required by activities on the Airport or as regulations are changed. Any existing commercial aeronautical service provider currently under a fully executed and approved lease will not be required to meet the standards until at such time that the service provider’s lease with the Airport is modified, renewed, or a change in the service provider’s ownership of 51 percent or more occurs. These Minimum Standards shall apply to all Commercial Aeronautical Service Providers, with the exceptions noted below. These Minimum Standards do not apply to:

• The District itself;

• Certificated air carriers providing scheduled passenger and/or cargo service operating under a separate lease and/or agreement with the Airport;


• Non-aeronautical commercial service providers such as restaurants, rental cars, concessions, taxis, Airport shuttles, etc., located on or otherwise serving the Airport;

• Non-commercial Airport tenants, including private aircraft owners and operators operating under 14 CFR Part 91, except as noted below;

• Aircraft operators and service providers that are not based at the Airport but that

use the Airport on a transient or itinerant basis and comply with all other applicable rules, regulations, and procedures of the District.

The District may suspend the authority of a SASO to conduct business at the Airport if the results of the CHRC indicate that the individual poses a threat to the Airport, local community, State or nation. (10) Commercial Aeronautical Activities not addressed in these Minimum Standards will be addressed by the District on a case-by-case basis in the SASO’s written Lease, license, permit or Agreement. (11) The District may waive or modify any portion of these Minimum Standards for the benefit of a governmental agency performing non-profit public services, fire protection, or emergency response operations or when it is determined that such waiver is in the best interest of the public and will not result in unjust discrimination against other Commercial Operators at the Airport.

_____________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Airport Commission FROM: Kevin E. Howell, Senior Vice President/COO DATE: June 24, 2019 _____________________________________________________________ ITEM DESCRIPTION - New Business Item D Approval of Roadway and Utilities Project BACKGROUND Parking capacity has become a critical issue for the airport. The District is already underway on a comprehensive surface parking expansion program to address public economy parking and employee parking. The District is also in the design phase on the third parking deck with combined public parking and a consolidated rental car facility (CONRAC) with ready/return parking and a quick turn-around (QTA) facility. ISSUES While the Commission has only approved a budget for the design phase of the third parking deck/CONRAC facility, it will be imperative the District make further expansion for close-in/premium parking. Additional close-in/premium parking could be provided through the third parking deck currently under design or by expanding the existing Daily Surface Lot to the north. Prior to beginning the third parking deck or an expansion of the Daily Surface Lot to the north, there are several existing utilities and a roadway that will require relocation. Staff has worked with the parking deck design team to expedite the required engineering and prepare a separate construction documents package for this work. By advancing this work ahead it will allow either the third parking deck or an expansion of the Daily Surface Parking Lot to start sooner and ultimately provide an earlier completion date in either case.

Greenville-Spartanburg Airport Commission New Business Item D Approval of Roadway and Utilities Project Page 2

The proposed Roadway and Utilities Project is consistent with the Master Plan and the ultimate Terminal-2 expansion and prepares the site north of the existing Parking Deck B for the third parking deck or a surface lot expansion to the north. ALTERNATIVES The Commission may elect to not approve proceeding with the Roadway and Utilities Project at this time. FISCAL IMPACT The Commission previously approved a $5,000,000 budget for the design phase of the third parking deck/CONRAC facility. To date, approximately $3,300,000 of that budget has been allocated to current contracts for design and engineering of the third deck/CONRAC facility, structural precast concrete and related components. Staff proposes reallocating the remaining approximate $1,700,000 from the design budget and authorizing an additional $1,000,000 in new budgeted funds to advance the proposed Roadway and Utilities Project. Staff also proposes adding the roadway and utilities scope of work to the design assist (DA) contract with Rodgers Builders, currently under contract for the Surface Parking Program. In addition to the efficiency of similar scope with civil/site work, grading, roadway, utilities, paving, etc., Rodgers has agreed to accept the additional work within the same timeline without any additional general conditions. Rodgers would bid the scope of work similar to the Surface Parking Program and the only additional expenses would be their DA contractor fee of 3% and minimal site requirements. Staff estimates this delivery method will save the District $400,000-$500,000 and provide the opportunity for an earlier completion date to expand the airport’s premium parking offerings. RECOMMENDED ACTION It is respectfully requested that the Airport Commission resolve to (1) approve the Roadways and Utilities Project; (2) authorize the reallocation of the remaining third parking deck/CONRAC facility design phase budget to the Roadways and Utilities Project; (3) authorize an additional $1,000,000 in new budget funds for the Roadways and Utilities Project; (4) authorize Staff to add the Roadway and Utilities scope of work to the Surface Parking Program DA contract and (5) authorize the President/CEO to execute all necessary documents.
